snails

The thing i was talking about is right above the snails which is actually on the glass     I know they are a little blurry as its the best i could do at the moment as it is getting late but i keep finding more and more of these little white dots scattered all over my tank.  There is more and...

So i have a 10 gal tank with 6 pygmy corys and 3 olive nerite snails and i was just wondering if adding a betta would be overloading the tank.  The tank is planted (i wouldn't say heavily because my corkscrew vallis is still making up its mind on whether or not to grow).  The one thing i hate...

So i have a 10 gal tank with a HOB filter and 6 pygmy corys and i have always had an algae problem in my tank.  Its nothing serious like hair algae (although there is some BBA growing on my anubias nana) but it is just that green film all over the glass on my tank.  What i was wondering is if i...

Hi guys, I have 2 Chinese Algae eaters one is about an inch, and the other is about half an inch. Anyways, I also have 2 Apple Snails, 1 Black and 1 Gold. They are very active and outgoing, but the big algae eater likes to suck on their shells, which draws them back into their shells. After that...

I got myself a new plant about 7 weeks ago. A short while later, I noticed a snail casually making his way around my tank. Then 2. Then 4. Then 8. The other day I counted around 30, and no doubt there were many more in there that I couldn't see at that moment. Is this a problem? Presumably if...

So, a month ago I put a melon sword in my gourami tank. About 2 weeks after that I noticed some Malasian Trumpet Snails crawling around, so I've been keeping an eye on the little hitch-hikers to make sure they don't take over. However, I found none today. The only occupant of the tank is a male...

So I'm cycling my 90l have been for 3 weeks, added a few plants as I was itching to get something but I refrained. Now I come to do my daily test and notice a snail about 4mm sliding across the glass! So I looked and there are at least 2 more smaller snails... Does this mean by the time I can...

Held water on the first try, I'LL BE DAMNED!!  I set down dowels under the bottom piece to elevate it up so the pressure wouldn't be on the long flat surface, instead on the sides which is much better I feel.   I am going to add a brace on the top somewhere probably, the glass is very thin and...

I have cycled my tank and all the levels were good I added 2 albino Corydoras yesterday and today I have these white things growing they look like the white fluffy things on dandelions and there also was what looked like a white worm sort of thing very tiny moving on my glass, my betta is due to...

That's right! I have some unidentified flying snails. Well, maybe they aren't flying, but I have no idea where they came from. I do have some apple snails in the tank, but wouldn't I notice eggs floating at the top of the tank? Plus, I don't leave enough room for them to breed, only about an...

I am starting a new tank, 50 gallons and before I set it up I was wanting to know what kind of substrate I should start with.  My goal is to have a fairly natural looking freshwater tank with plants and fish.  I'd also like to have a few invertebrates if possible such as snails.  What kind of...

Hi I'm getting quite a few MTS's in my tank now and just putting the feelers out to see if anybody would be interested in buying some I can post within the UK Let me know if interested Thanks

Hi Guys,   Quick bit of advice. I have an 11 gallon tank that's settled nicely with 3 small mollies, 1 platy, 1 Gupppy, 1 Pleco and 1,476,456,242 snails!!   I've never put any snails in the tank, but 2/3 tiny ones stowed away on the various plants I've got in there. But, in a very short space of...

Hi All, I just wanted to share my findings as I went through countless articles over years attempting to remove a small snail from my tank, none of the methods removed them in totality just helped control them to varying degrees.   Prevention is the best option: However you're probably reading...

Ok so i noticed some bright red eggs at the top of my tank out of the water, googled in and assumed they were apple snail eggs. I have had creamy white eggs before but never bright red ones. Was looking at the eggs today and noticed around it, out of the water, i noticed was loads of tiny red...
